    Ceftriaxone free acid

    $19,977.80 - $40,153.40

    Ceftriaxone free acid is a semisynthetic third-generation cephalosporin with bactericidal activity.  It is used as an antibacterial, and since it can cross the blood-brain barrier, it can also be used to study the central nervous system.

    TOKU-E offers two forms of Ceftriaxone:

    ApplicationIn vivo studies with male rats have shown that treatment with Ceftriaxone can prevent ethanol drinking through normalization of extracellular glutamate in nucleus accumbens of P rats via glutamate transporter 1. (Das et al, 2015).
    Mechanism of ActionLike β-lactams, cephalosporins interfere with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues providing additional strength to the cell wall. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised and ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. Resistance to cephalosporins is commonly due to cells containing plasmid encoded β-lactamases. Like many cephalosporins, Ceftriaxone is resistant to a number of β-lactamases.
    SpectrumCeftriaxone free acid is a broad-spectrum antibiotic targeting a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
